    This is what they call an Instant Karma Fail, a clear message from her higher power to stop doing evil deeds. The Inmates at the jail are going to be laughing at this high tech criminal. Ha Ha Ha, you deserve the jail cell you’re living in. Go get a job instead if ripping off hard working people. We’re already being ripped of enogh by the Government in Taxes.
